"Sipping a cup of tea... can be a soothing ritual & one of life's simple pleasures." -SpiritualityHealth.com
Many of us love tea for its delicious taste, for its caffeine or because drinking tea is a delightful habit. But it also can be a spiritual practice.
It can accompany moments of meditation, or deep thinking. As simple as breathing deeply and slowly between sips. Take a sip and then, breathe in peace. Take another sip and then, breathe out your tension or stress.
Your tea ritual can be a journaling companion, too. Ask for guidance as you begin the ritual. Think about it as you prepare your tea, as you stir in the sugar, the lemon or milk.
As you take each sip, begin to expect an answer, and keep your journal nearby, so that as soon as the guidance or insights begin to come, you'll be ready to write them down.
What are other ways that having a tea ritual could become part of your spiritual practice? As you watch the video, think about how your tea experience can create hygge moments that help you slow life down, but also make way for deeper connections with your own truth. With the core of who you are.
